Make 1t a success.

Carson Union: We have occasion tc
suggest to the proprietors OF the Reno Re
duction Works that every effort should be
made in their purchases OF ore TO give the
best practical margins to ore producers.
Nothing is easier than to discourage
men who have mines OF ores that they have
every reason to believe are rich. II ship
ments are made to the works and the re.
turn assays do not come within seventy.
five per cent of the value which repeated
assays elsewhere have given them, the re-
suit must be detriment tai to the industry
itself as we'll as the general welfare OF
prospectors and mine owners.
The richer the ores the less should be
the proportionate charges and offsets al
the Reduction Works, and the greater the
realization of coin in hand by the shipper,
We do not at this time charge that the
works are no. strictly honorable, but will
nevertheless state that an instance or two
has come under our observation where
there we're expressions of dissatisfaction,
We hope sincerely that every transaction
will but add to the good reputation which
that enterprise now enjoys.

THE LAW.
A Prediction That It Will Be Re-
pealed by Congress-.


CHICAGO, April IA special from
Washington says: One Of the oldest
Democratic Congressman from Illinois,
who has had much to do with creating the
Interstate Commerce law. and who for
that reason says that he does not want to
be quoted, gave 1t as his opinion to-day
that this law will be repealed al the next
session of Congress. He says that there
will be twice as many petitions from the
people by December praying for its repeal
as were received in its favor in years past.
He thinks it is'tbo complicated, and that
1t gives too much authority to the Com
mission and too little benefit to shippers
and travellers.
Quite q number OF Congressman who
we're prominent in bringing this law into
existence, and who are now here, make the
same prediction. They think that a sub.
stitute bill could be passed to simply pro-
hibit discrimination. doing away with the
Commission and giving State courts juris-
diction. Already thousands of letters
making this suggestion have been received.
I hear that the Commissioners have put
in a claim for payment from the first Of
January, although they were only com.
missioned in the last days Of March. The
ground Of the claim is that their respec-
tive terms of Office will end with the
calendar year, and the presumption must
be that they began with the year 1887.
The claim is probably q sound one, and il
shows that the Commissioners will, in
their own affairs, prefer a long haul to a
short haul every time.

Something Up.

The Carson Union says: There is evil
IDENTIFY some very important move On foot
in relation to Comstock mining properties.
All the heavy operators are congregating
in Virginia City. the air is filled with
favorable rumors, stocks are very sensi-
tive, and operators appear TO be restless
but at the same time in good spirits.
Operations in the mines are watched with
great interest and the universal feeling is
that this will be a season of unusual &C.
tivity in mining circles. Nearly every
body in this section OF the State is inter.
ostcd either directly or indirectly, in the
welfare of the Comstock, and an advance
in prices or an active season would be re-
ceived with Joy by our people.

THE CULTURE OF OPIUM.
The Industry in MaIwa and Bengal
Gathering the POppy's Juice.

The Industry in MaIwa and Bengal
Gathering the POppy's Juice.
1t is probable that very few owners of
fiower-gardens are aware that the pop
pies cultivated merely for ornament will
produce opium. When the flower pc
tails have fallen, leaving the seed capsule
bare, if an incision be made in that body,
sticky juice will exude. This juice is
opium. 1t varies in certain chemical
qualities, according to the country in
which it is cultivated, and the variety of
plant from which it is produced.
Although the plant viii grow in almost
any climate, it is in India that it is most
satisfactorily cultivated, the opium rev.
enue of that country being derived from
two sources, those of Malwa and those
of Bengal The Malwa opium is pro-
duced in the native states of the interior,
and is not controlled by the British gov
eminent, except by a tax. Bengal opium,
on the contrary, is under the direct super
intendence of English officials.
When the land has been plowed and
narrowed, the poppy seed is sown at the
end of October, or the beginning of No
vember. Six pounds of seed are suffi-
Gent for the third of an acre.
AS soon as it begins to terminate, as it
does in week after sowing, the land is
divided by burrows into rectangular beds,
about eight feet in length by four in
breadth These channels arr used for
irrigation, as the plants need frequent
waterin9, sometimes requiring it until
the crop is matured. About seventy-five
days after termination, the flower APP
pears, and its four petals are gently re-
moved, on the third day after their ex-
pansion, to be pasted together with the
leaves destined to form the outer shell
of the opium cake.
In the course of eight or ten days, the
capsules are lanced at night, and the
Juice which has exuded from the incisions
is scraped off in the morning, with
small SCOOP, and transferred to metal
or earthen vessel. This process is three
or four times repeated at intervals of
two or three days, and the result is
crude opium. The flower petals and the
plant-leaves and stalks have also con-
siderable value for packing purposes,
and the thicker portions of the stalks are
used by the peasants for f1re-wood. The
crude opium, having been gathered, is
stored by the cultivator, and watched,
that it may remain free from mould or
faint.
At the end of March, or the beginning
of April, when the weather is furiously
hot in Bengal, the cultivators, carrying
their opium, obey summons calling
them to meet the deputy agent of their
village. sThere the opium is tested, paid
for, and taken into the possession of the
government.
Finally the opium paste is made into
cakes, dried, packed in boxes, and re-
moved to Calcutta, for sale by auction

Regulate the Diet of the Aged.

AS we increase in age, when we have
spent, say, our first half-century, less
energy and activity remain, and less ex-
penditure can be made; less power to
eliminate is possible at 80 than at 80,
still less at so and upward. Less nutri-
ment, therefore, says Sir Henry Thomp-
son, must be taken in proportion as age
advances, or rather, as activity dimin-
ishes, or the individual will suffer. If he
continues to consume the same abund-
ant breakfasts, substantial lunches, and
heavy dinners which at the summit of
his power he could dispose of almost
with impunity he will in time certainly
accumulate fat, or become acquainted
with govt or rheumatism, or show signs
of unhealthy deposit of some kind in
some part of the body, processes which
must inevitably poison, undermine, or
shorten his remaining term of life. He
must reduce his intake" because a
smaller expenditure is an enforced con-
dition of existence of Health.

A Novel method of ornamentation.

A simple method of ornamenting wood
or sized paper is to brush over it thin
coating of very concentrated cold solu-
ton of some salt mixed with dextrine,
which gives to the surface a beautiful
mother-of-pearl appearance. To cause
the adhesion of the mixture to glass, an
extra coating of an alcoholic shellac solu-
ton is necessary. SuIphate of magnesia,
acetate of soda and sulphate of tin are
among salts which produce the most at
tractive crystalline coatings.-Frank
